Lock Up Company Bulletin For Free

up period, also called a lockedup, lockin or lockout period, refers to the predetermined time frame in which corporate insiders, investors, and employees are not allowed to sell or redeem their shares after an initial public offering (IPO).

The purpose of an IPO lock-up period is to prevent insiders from inundating the market with large numbers of shares as they become public, which could initially depress the stock's price.

Project Lock Up allows law enforcement and crime prevention groups to interact with victims of property crime to help them prevent any further break and enters or thefts. The data from calls to police are reviewed to identify the areas where break and enters occur most often.

Lockup agreements prohibit company insiders?including employees, their friends and family, and large shareholders?from selling their shares for a set period of time after an IPO.

For a follow-on offering (i.e., an offering following an issuer's IPO), the lock-up period generally varies from 30 days to 90 days depending on various factors, including whether the issuer is a seasoned issuer and the liquidity of its stock.

In the case of an initial public offering (IPO), the underwriters will seek to obtain lock-up agreements from all, or substantially all, the existing securityholders for a period of 180 days, subject to some limited carve-outs.

An initial public offering (IPO) lockup period is the time following an IPO during which certain shareholders are banned from selling their shares. The lockup period is often put in place to prevent a sudden influx of shares into the market that may sharply depress the stock price.
